They preempted that for this?

What I see is Ravens/Cowboys will air as a Tuesday edition of Thursday Night Football on Fox.
Yup, because they could not pay the Ravens two nights in a row they had to push TNF to Tuesday.
We need a thread for this sort of thing but if I can figure out how to get to this, I have a TV Guide covering Raleigh-Durham NC from a week in 1971 with details about CBS and NBC programming you won't believe. I would have thought by 1971 affiliates would have committed but that's not the case.
you mean the section where tv schedules can be posted?
My question is how did that game suddenly warrant an hour long pregame show? Normally Fox’s Thursday night pregame show begins at 7:30 Eastern but on Tuesday it begins at 7 Eastern.
And that's appropriate for 1971?you mean the section where tv schedules can be posted?
are you referring to posting schedules from that TVGuide? If so that is the best spot.
WSOC Tonight (and other ABC newscasts in the Eastern and Central Time Zones) started at 11:25pm Eastern after the conclusion of the Bills-49ers game. World News Now will likely be mothballed because it was only scheduled to be on from 3:51 am to 4am.
So I missed why this game was on both ABC and ESPN.
All of NY State aired it as well, according to the 506 map. Baltimore too, since Wheel and Jeopardy! were listed to be pre-empted on WBFF.
The game overran over half an hour. For markets that aired the game, I Can See Your Voice began at 8:36 PM Eastern and Cosmos, though a repeat, aired in full afterwards. (FOX generally JIP's primetime shows following sports overruns if they're repeats)
I think that’s only stations airing Sunday singleheader 4:05 games. Currently FOX airs reruns of The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers at 7 and 7:30 on singleheader weeks and the stations only airing late games join them in progress if the games run over. That happened yesterday, I heard.
ESPN decided that this week and week 16 (also involving the Bills) are going to be on both ABC & ESPN
correct. Minneapolis had the late FOX game (3:05) and after the game the Simpsons rerun was JIP'd
Since yesterday's game between Washington and Pittsburgh was just a regional game that explains an article I saw on social media that football fans were angry that Judge Judy aired instead of the football game. Also what genius decided to make it a regional game anyway? Up until yesterday Pittsburgh was undefeated and to me an undefeated team would draw more interest to the game.
The reason it was regional is because NFL Sunday Ticket has a guaranteed minimum amount of games they are to carry (per the contract). With games being moved around that number got below the threshold so the game had to be on NFL ST and regionalized (as if it was played on Sunday).
There were a couple weeks where there was a nationally televised late game (GB/TB week 6 and KC/TB week 12) but one market got blacked out of it (Miami week 6 and Denver week 12) so NFL ST could count those games too.

How very 2020 that (a) the game had to be postponed in the first place, (b) that only a portion of the country could see it when it was moved to a Monday, (c) that the undefeated Steelers would lose their first game of the season, and (d) that the team that beat the Steelers had to do so under a generic non-name.
I still can't see why the NFL and Washington ownership can't give the franchise a new name until next season. If both sides found a name that was mutually acceptable, and cleared everything with legal so marketing could begin, why not introduce the branding at midseason and save the merchandise sales for the upcoming season, when there will (one would hope) be fans back in the stadium to buy it? All I can figure is that every name the team and league want is being held for ransom by internet domain squatters and so far, the price has been exorbitant and the NFL won't pay. The WFT may just win the NFC East and enter the playoffs. Sure would be nice if it had a name.
Or there’s no point to introducing a name mid season. You don’t just “save the merchandising.” You go all in with a multitude of merchandise ready to go when the entire branding structure is announced.
Since ABC's game was listed until 11:15, some West Coast affiliates oddly decided to schedule only half of a syndie from X:15-X:30, with only the last 7-ish minutes airing in the end. KAEF in Eureka, CA scheduled DailyMailTV, KGUN in Tucson scheduled Whacked Out Sports (which I don't believe is offered for weekdays), and KOTA in Rapid City, SD scheduled the second half of Wheel of Fortune (which ended up just being the Bonus Round).
I didn't even know Whacked Out Sports was still airing on some stations. That show is a decade old. Don't know if any stations in my area are still showing it.
